Cait was finally done baking and was giving the kitchen a good cleaning after her marathon baking sessions. The past three days had been spent baking, baking and baking. Saturnalia started tomorrow and she had to finish the baking before then. Cait couldn't exactly go out and buy everyone at the mansion a gift, so she baked goodies. She knew everyone's favorites and made sure to include some of each in her baking.

She looked at the clock. Mom, Dad and Twerp Minor should be here some time this afternoon. They always came for the start of Saturnalia and stayed until a few days after New Year's. There was the obligatory visit to Grandfather William's, which they never looked forward to, but it was one of those things that had to be done. The best part was always the Xavier's Institute Annual Snowball Fight on New Year's Day.

Cait wondered where Twerp Major was as she moved water and detergent across the floor with her powers.

Twerp Major -- um, Corey -- was not going to set foot in the kitchen in its current state, but he came to the doorway, less grubby than usual. "Hey."

"Hey," Cait said as she glanced over at him. "Wow, you're like clean...well clean for you."

Corey grins. "Special occasion and all."

"If you mean special occasion by avoiding a talk from Mom and her making you take a shower or bath," Cait smirked. Their mother knew it was hopeless for Corey to stay clean, but there were varying levels of clean and even Mom had her limits to what was an acceptable amount of dirty.

He nodded, glad to see that Cait was still fluent in Corey.

"I hope Mom or the shortstack remembered to bring my hat. Just doesn't seem like the holidays without the hat."

"That hat hardly makes you awesome," she said as she moved the dirty water into the sink. "Do you need any baked goods to give to people?" As usual Cait made extra just in case.

"Much appreciated. But I've got my cards." Mass-produced recycled decorative paper, personalized messages and various promises.

"Just checking," she said. What she didn't say was that she knew how he got so wrapped up in something and forgot things on occasion. "They should be here soon."

It had been awhile since Bobby had visited his two oldest children. School had finally ended for the winter break, and he wouldn't have to worry about any of his children missing too much school...though Xavier had always been understanding when family was involved.

Suitcases in hand, he walked up to the door of the mansion, ringing the doorbell before turning to his wife and youngest son.

"C'mon you two," he said with a grin, "I know those bags aren't that heavy."

Cait heard the doorbell and looked at her brother. She smiled and then ran for the door.

Corey grinned equally as he hurried alongside her. And in the doorway, there are hugs.
"Hey! Io Saturnalia! How's it going? How was Grandfather Lucius when you saw him last? How were the crops?" The questions come one after the other.

There are lots of hugs. It had been a few months since Amara had seen two of her children and there was time to make up for.

"I've missed you two so much."

There's hugs and hair ruffling on Bobby's part.

"Your Grandfather and the crops are both doing great," he said in between hugs, "You two been behaving yourselves?" He's using the term loosely.

"Missed you too, Mom."

"We don't think of it as a matter of our behavior so much as a matter of whether the Institute is being adequately prepared for the Shortstack. If we allow Uncle Scott to grow complacent, it could be disastrous in the end." Corey grins.

"We haven't caused any wide scale destruction," Cait said. "But what Twerp Major said." Her brother had a knack for explaining things in different ways. "Let's get your bags upstairs and there's plenty of baked goods in the kitchen. Twerp Minor is staying with Twerp Major. We're almost at a full house."

"No wide scale destruction is always a good thing," Amara said with a smile. Corey and Cait were active kids and with their powers they had the potential to cause wide scale destruction.

"Yeah. We could live without the angry phone call from the Professor," Bobby said with a grin. "Full house? You get a lot of new kids in or something?"

Cait nodded. "Uncle Warren has a son," Cait said. The rumor mill was never quiet or still at Xavier's.

Bobby raised an eyebrow at that. "Really? I never knew about him having any other kids than Lyta. Then again...with the way Warren dates..." He rolled his eyes.

"Got it, Mom." Corey reaches to help his brother with his suitcase and up they go.

"How was the flight?" Cait asked. Please don't bring up college.
